[JENKINS-47442] Parameterized Trigger hangs waiting for downstream job

We use Parameterized Trigger to launch downstream jobs from a Promoted Builds promotion. The problem is that if the downstream job queues then the Promotion job hangs waiting for it. The stack trace is:

java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method)

java.lang.Object.wait(Object.java:502)

hudson.remoting.AsyncFutureImpl.get(AsyncFutureImpl.java:73)

hudson.plugins.parameterizedtrigger.BuildTrigger.perform(BuildTrigger.java:111)

hudson.plugins.promoted_builds.Promotion$RunnerImpl.build(Promotion.java:425)

hudson.plugins.promoted_builds.Promotion$RunnerImpl.doRun(Promotion.java:367)

hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.run(AbstractBuild.java:496)

hudson.model.Run.execute(Run.java:1737)

hudson.model.Run.run(Run.java:1694)

hudson.plugins.promoted_builds.Promotion.run(Promotion.java:290)

hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:97)

hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:421)

I think it relates to this line in BuildTrigger.java.

abstractBuild = (AbstractBuild) future.get();

It was added in https://github.com/jenkinsci/parameterized-trigger-plugin/commit/a6de43746b11ae2113405f56203066af42abb124#diff-124e73168bc42ab0df38c0656f9aec8b

We have downgraded the Parameterized Trigger plugin to 2.32 (prior to the above commit) resolves the issue, but there are security warnings for the older version so we'd like to be able to upgrade again.

To replicate, use Promoted Builds to trigger a long running downstream job. After the first or second promotion you should see the promotion job hang waiting on the downstream job.
